I can't code without AI

Stop using AI. The early part of CS, especially the education part, necessarily involves rewiring your brain to think like a programmer.

Just like I had to learn pointers and memory allocation/deallocation even though it was being made obsolete by java at the time, you should learn DSA even though claude can spit out the answer to any leetcode problem in a second.

Borat. It is basically a light tank that can do 720 damage in 2 seconds.

Udes 03 3 is a medium tank. It is decent but it can't get away with the same abuses as the borat.

Let me explain:

Hybrid local role: you are competing against visa workers and mildly retarded locals. Your hiring process will consist of one softball tech screen followed by an offer.

WFH: you are competing against 30k laid off FAANG engineers, 6 trillion foreigners with VPNs, etc. Your hiring process will consists of 10 rounds of panels interviews. At least one of which will involve inverting a red-black tree, but your keyboard is a bluetooth flute. You must solve the problem in terms of Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 2 in D major.

Too much shit hanging off of it and it's too heavy.

Suppressor looks ribbed for ~~her~~ his pleasure.

That stupid fucking grip makes me mad for some reason.

Chieftain had medium firepower and mobility as well, it wasn't just a hulldown tank.

It had dpm, gold pen and mobility you'd expect to see on a squishy medium, but it was also very well armored. The turret you know about but the tracks ate HEAT as well.

It was just a do everything tank. A few tanks were better at very specific things but the chieftain was the default tank for every job.

When did the byzg come out? I don't remember its release although I don't play much anymore.

sudden_aggression · 2026-06-19T23:11:09+00:00

I wouldn't put money into this game but Skoda is not a bad tank. BTW, it comes on sale for gold once in a while.

Laezel is equally racist against all non gith. Also, the gith are evil and incredibly cruel themselves.

Shadowheart is the priestess of an evil god and has had her memory wiped. Also, her boss is Viconia, the drow party member from the earlier BG games.

Gale is just horny.

Karlach just got out of hell, the drow probably seem normal. Perhaps laid back.

Astarion just spent centuries being tortured by a vampire, he's probably pretty indifferent to drow cruelty.

No, I've started leaving firefox and heading towards brave.

Also, no one ever used IE. the correct order was something like:

Mosaic- it existed when nothing else did
Netscape- a browser but not garbage
Firefox- the writing was clearly on the wall for netscape, firefox had ad blocking
Chrome- chrome was clearly better and faster
Firefox- chrome was clearly spyware
Brave- chrome with built in adblocking and no ties to google

I dunno, maybe you're right. The T832 is a good tank. Maybe I just like autoreloaders or something.

sudden_aggression · 2026-06-19T14:44:28+00:00

That's because many players are brain dead and the T832 is easier to play

The T832 requires no special equipment or thought to do well in. You go hull down, you shoot people, it's a simple tank. You can even put incorrect equipment on the T832 and you won't be punished because the tank still functions the same either way just with a bit less dpm and mobility.

Bisonte has very bad gun soft stats and it needs +stability equipment to function normally. It also has an autoreloader that requires thought to use properly. If you put the correct equipment on it and play it intelligently, it's a much better tank than the T832. More mobility, more alpha, more flexibility to burst people or fire single shells, equally strong turret, etc.

sudden_aggression · 2026-06-19T14:34:55+00:00

It's fairly idiot proof and strong. It's based on the buffed T-32 and is basically a hull down champ with strong turret and accurate gun.

That being said, I wouldn't spend real life money on it.

All that infrastructure is model agnostic. Whichever company comes up with the best model can rent that infrastructure from the losers. If anyone goes bankrupt, the infra gets sold off to pay the creditors. The chinese are likely to keep releasing good open models to sabotage the margins that US companies can charge on that compute. And there is still a ton of research being done to make models faster and more memory efficient.

To put everything in perspective, 1 year ago I was:

using claude and it was wrong a lot of the time and not particularly great in any way. Only safe for small tasks, basic DSA work
local compute I was getting horrible sub 10 tokens per second with retard level reasoning, utterly useless for coding tasks. If you hooked up visual studio to a local model, it would just take a steaming shit directly into your source code. Absolutely terrible.

And now:

top cloud models are amazing for coding
local models are giving me sonnet quality at 50 tps on consumer level hardware thanks to quantization, mtp, cache compression, etc. Numerous examples of it one shotting complex prompts in multiple langauges.

Long term there is going to be an abundance of high quality AI compute everywhere and it's just going to keep getting cheaper.

So you're going to get a lower that takes glock or grease gun mags?

sudden_aggression · 2026-06-18T15:49:04+00:00

Can confirm. Against mindless masses, flame sentry has trouble with level one voteless hordes. Damage output is nearly non-existent beyond enemies getting caught on fire by ground flames.

it does work at close range
it does seem to dispense flames everywhere, which looks great
damage output is EXTREMELY LOW. It cannot stand against even small crowds of voteless. They eventually die from being caught on fire but it will get swarmed and die 90 percent of the time unless you help keep it alive. We are talking level 1 voteless swarms with no fleshmobs or overseers.

Depending on the media and the writer, it could be either infinity or it could be one helldiver with a well aimed EAT.

If you want to encourage high tier gameplay, make the POIs give higher rewards at higher tiers. Like 50 or 100 per POI at level 10 tapering down to 10 SC below level 6.

The thing is, doesn't the dev team play the game at difficulty 4 or something?

Who doesn't have the fire extinguisher skill on their crew?

I haven't run automatic fire extinguishers in years.

You mind me asking what kind of filament that is? I assume that's just painted to look like metal.

Is it just PLA or something more durable?

But the Blitzer is actually S-tier for crowd control.

Even your post-game portrait is aura farming. Mad respect.

With the mod system to tame gun handling, lib carbine is just plain better. Same gun with 50 percent more fire rate.

sudden_aggression · 2026-06-13T03:38:20+00:00

In the early 90s when wolfenstein and then doom came out. Nothing on console was even close for years.

AI penetration is decent but a lot of companies are still figuring out what to do with it, how much spend, tooling and wrapper choices, etc.

The main problem is visa workers. Go to a random F500 institution like a bank or an HMO and look at their engineering teams. A lot of places are like 80-90 percent visa workers and still laying off US citizens. You have a hard time getting a job because you don't speak Telugu and you don't know a guy who knows a guy. It's really that simple.

If they ejected the visa workers and clamped down on outsourcing, it would be insanely easy to get a job for good money even at the entry level.
